A CONCISE DICTIONARY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH By Mayhew and Skeat A re-publication of the highly significant 1888 A CONCISE DICTIONARY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH. This is not a facsimile edition. With over 300 pages of word entries, and including the original Middle English and Greek characters of the original publication, this is undoubtedly the best edition of this important reference work available. JUSTINIAN: NEW CONSTITUTIONS (In Two Volumes) Samuel P. Scott's vigorous and highly readable translation of Justinian's NEW CONSTITUTIONS, the final part of the most comprehensive re- codification of law in the history of the world, is now available for the first time in an affordable paperback edition. Volume One contains the first Six Collections of Justinian’s enactments as well as a lengthy excerpt from S. P. Scott's original prologue; Volume Two contains the final Three Collections of Justinian’s enactments, and includes two appendices and an abbreviated index derived from Scott’s monumental 17 volume work of 1932, THE CIVIL LAW. THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL By George MacDonald THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL is a series of beautifully written sermons by one of the most prolific and celebrated Scottish writers and novelists of the Victorian era. In MacDonald’s sermons and writings God never shouts. Rather, His is the urgent and insistent voice Elijah heard on the mount, not speaking from the great and strong wind, the earthquake or the fire. It is a still small voice that compels you to lean closer to learn the secret. As C. S. Lewis once said, “I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself.” THE BOOK OF WERE-WOLVES By Sabine Baring-Gould WITH 45 ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS Sabine Baring-Gould (Celebrated composer of the famous Christian hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers"), created a definitive foundation work of modern supernatural lore when he published THE BOOK OF WERE-WOLVES in 1862. Thirty years before Jack the Ripper, Baring-Gould concluded that were-wolves are what the modern era would later come to know as serial killers. And his conclusions have withstood the test of time. Baring-Gould presents the reader with a surprising and intriguing journey through a poorly understood and dark side of legend, history and human nature. THE DIARY OF AN OLD SOUL By George MacDonald ILLUSTRATED THE DIARY OF AN OLD SOUL is a series of beautifully written daily devotionals by one of the most prolific and celebrated Scottish writers and novelists of the Victorian era – George MacDonald (1824 - 1905). Day-by-day MacDonald reflects on the sweet and bitter, the happy and sad as he faces the challenges of living the true Christian life. Each page of poetry is offset with an illustrated page for the recording of the reader’s own thoughts throughout the year in the good company of George MacDonald. __________________________________ For information on book pricing and shipping please visit THE R.

| THE NEW FREEDOM By Woodrow Wilson THE NEW FREEDOM... "is not a discussion of measures or of programs. It is an attempt to express the new spirit of our politics and to set forth, in large terms which may stick to the imagination, what it is that must be done if we are to restore our politics to their full spiritual vigor, and our national life, whether in trade, in industry, or in what concerns us only as families and individuals, to its purity, its self-respect, and its pristine strength and freedom...."

| THE MIRACLES OF OUR LORD By George MacDonald In THE MIRACLES OF OUR LORD, a compelling companion to THE HOPE OF THE GOSPELS, George MacDonald writes in the most moving, convincing way about the necessity of the New Testament miracles. As MacDonald says, “Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it." After reading this, be prepared to believe in miracles all over again.... (more) For information on book pricing and shipping please visit THE R. A. SITES BOOKSTORE |
